as much as I love medea and support her always, i also feel a lot of sympathy for her brother apsyrtus, the one that she killed to buy herself time to flee colchis.
the fact that he felt like he was going to inherit the throne but probably would not have even if he had survived, because his father aeëtes probably can't die. the fact that he was so loyal to his father and almost clingy to him. he's driven the sun chariot and has a helmet that hurts to stare at. aeëtes probably allowed him all this.
apsyrtus living in this delusion that he will inherit colchis even though he would never have that in any universe. his father entertaining that and letting him have attention and wealth and glory.
